Memories of Balmoral - Victorian Scottish Dancing

[Commentarian1]

knickers on Victorian men, do tell. Yes, stuff your skirts with Charmin if you must, but spare us the flacid appearance of improperly worn hoops. This looks like it needs to be in the Ozarks.

man! This makes me want to get back to Scottish Country Dancing moreso then I already do!

[funkyladybean]

I was already fully paid and ticketed for this event, plus $300 into my wardrobe for this event and she canceled my reservation and sent my money back because she decided that, because I was traveling alone and discussing my wardrobe ideas with her, that I should not go. She felt I was not capable of traveling alone and decide for me that I would "not enjoy it", that I would not be interested or experienced enough for the dancing aspect even though I was.

Glad i did not miss too much.

damn that girl has a nice ass id tap that

[PetiteAristocrat]

Oh... my goodness... I want to take these dance classes.

[POLMAZURKA]

why not make ti more contemporary?------during the 1940

polish soldiers were stationed in Scotland----so now you are justified to learn the Mazur in its more contemporary form.

[Semiomniscient]

Some people like the whole "period" feel... it's like a continued theme-costume party for everyone... with dancing. I prefer the contemporary dress... but we have an American Vintage dance group where I live and I participate just because I love to dance... and it's great that they do at least some Scottish dances.

I love thee fashion and the music. Bagpipes are great!

[simplypanda]

I'm wishing I had a hoop skirt!

[BOPPPPER]

What a wonderful time was had by all. The guy in the pantaloons is a wonderful dancer. Kath Edinburgh

The sword part was awsome!!!

[boonchuey]

Terrific sword dance by that guy. He must be a champion or professional dancer surely?

[tessalina]

Watch it all through, guys! It ends with a ball (though a small one) with the ladies in hoopskirts and the men in gloves. Scottish country dancing as it should be! ROCK ON, HOOPSKIRTS!
